MY MOTHER AND BROTHERS / LUKE 8:21

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 8:21

MY MOTHER AND BROTHERS / LUKE 8:21

Only those who hear and obey God’s Word – who not only receive it but also put it into practice – are personally related to Jesus as part of God’s family. Faith without obedience is not an option in God’s spiritual family.

CHOKED BY LIFE’S WORRIES / LUKE 8:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 8:14

And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

CHOKED BY LIFE’S WORRIES / LUKE 8:14

We who believe in Jesus and follow Him must always be careful that worldly responsibilities, material things or pleasures do not fill our thoughts and become our priorities in life. If this happens, our spiritual lives will be drained of the power that we receive from our relationship with Jesus. Thorns and weeds of worldly worries and pleasures can slowly but surely choke the passion for God’s Word and purposes from our lives. We should always ask ourselves: What is happening in my life? Am I getting caught up more and more in temporary earthly things and concerns? Or are God’s eternal Word and purposes taking priority and becoming more important as time goes by?

BELIEVE FOR A WHILE … FALL AWAY / LUKE 8:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 8:13

 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

BELIEVE FOR A WHILE … FALL AWAY / LUKE 8:13

In Christ’s interpretation of this parable, He clearly affirms the possibility of a person believing in Christ (making a sincere commitment to Jesus and beginning a life of faith) but later falling away and turning their back on their commitment. This may happen when things get tough or because they fail to resist temptation. In contrast, there are those who “hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop” (Luke 8:15). Jesus, teaches that it is absolutely necessary that those who hear His Word “hold firmly” to it (Luke 11:28; John 8:51; 1 Corinthians 15:1-2; Colossians 1:21-23; 1 Timothy 4:1, 16; 2 Timothy 3:13-15; 1 John 2:24-25; John 15:6) one of the main ways we retain the Word is by putting it into practice as soon as God shows us how to apply it to our lives (James 1:22-25).

HELPING TO SUPPORT THEM / LUKE 8:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 8:3

And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

HELPING TO SUPPORT THEM / LUKE 8:3

These women who had received healing and special care from Jesus expressed their gratitude and honored Him by faithfully contributing to His ministry. Their support of Jesus and His disciples likely came through finances as well as meeting their practical needs. Their service and devotion continue to be an example for every follower of Christ – women and men. As you give to Christ by helping others who are hurting, alone or in need, the words of Matthew 25:34-40 apply to you.

CLAIM WE HAVE NOT SINNED / 1 JOHN 1:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:10

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

CLAIM WE HAVE NOT SINNED / 1 JOHN 1:10

If we claim that we have never sinned and, therefore, do not need to accept the forgiveness provided by God through Christ’s death, we are making God appear to be a liar (Romans 3:23). The false teachers that John is refuting claimed that their immoral actions were not sinful (Romans 6:2).

CONFESS OUR SINS / 1 JOHN 1:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

CONFESS OUR SINS / 1 JOHN 1:9

God is more than willing to forgive us for the ways we have offended Him and defied His standards. After all, that is why He sent His Son, Jesus, to die in our place and pay the penalty for our sin. But in order to receive His forgiveness, we must willingly admit that we have gone our own way and defied God. We must then submit to Jesus’ authority and allow him to purify our lives spiritually. God’s response to such humility and surrender is consistent with His faithful character (Psalms 143:1) and forgiving nature (Jeremiah 31:34; Hebrews 10:22-23).

  1. By providing complete forgiveness and restoring us to a right relationship with Himself.
  2. By purifying us from the guilt and destruction of sin. God does this so we can relate to Him in holiness (moral purity, spiritual wholeness, separation from evil and dedication to God; Psalms 32:1-5; Proverbs 28:13; Jeremiah 31:1-5; Luke 15:18; Romans 6:2-14).

WALK IN THE LIGHT / 1 JOHN 1:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:7

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

WALK IN THE LIGHT / 1 JOHN 1:7

“Walk in the light” means to believe and accept God’s truth as revealed in His Word and to make an earnest and sustained effort, with His help, to live by God’s truth in words and actions. The expression, “the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin,” refers to the ongoing work of sanctification (spiritual and moral purification, refinement, growth, development, maturity and preparation for God;s purposes) within the lives of those who follow Christ. Through the inner presence of His Holy Spirit, God provides continual cleansing for a believer’s unknown and unintentional sins. John is probably not thinking here of deliberate defiance against God and His standard, since he speaks of walking in the light. This continual purifying allows us to have intimate companionship with God.

FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM / 1 JOHN 1:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:6

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM / 1 JOHN 1:6

To “walk in the darkness” means to live outside of God’s truth and a personal relationship with Him. It means to reject God’s standards and pursue one’s own direction toward selfish and immoral pleasure. People who live this way do not “have fellowship with Him,” and are “not born of God” (1 John 3:7-9; John 3:19; 2 Corinthians 6:14). Their actions show that they do not have a saving relationship with God. But those who have accepted God’s forgiveness and the opportunity to have true companionship with Christ experience His favor, help and strength to live in spiritual purity and to do what is right by God’s standard (1 John 1:7; 2:4; 3:10).

FELLOWSHIP WITH US / 1 JOHN 1:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:3

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

FELLOWSHIP WITH US / 1 JOHN 1:3

“Fellowship” (Greek koinonia) literally means “having in common” and involves sharing and participation with other believers. Christians have fellowship because they have many things in common, including their faith (Titus 1:4; Jude 1:3), God’s grace – His unearned favor, love and help – through Christ (1 Corinthians 1:9; Philippians 1:7), The Holy Spirit living within them (John 20:22; Romans 8:9, 11) and the gifts of the Spirit (Romans 15:27). All Christians are also in a spiritual battle with the same enemy (1 John 2:15-18; 1 Peter 5:8). Christ’s followers can have no true God-honoring fellowship with those who reject the teaching of New Testament faith (2 John 1:7-11; Galatians 1:9).

ETERNAL LIFE / 1 JOHN 1:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:2

(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

ETERNAL LIFE / 1 JOHN 1:2

John defines eternal life in terms of Christ Himself. In his Gospel account, John says, “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3). This means that eternal life is not only a future hope but also a present reality that we can begin to experience from the time we enter a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. True life can only be found through obedient faith in Jesus Christ and a vital personal relationship with Him (1 John 1:2, 6-7; 2:22-25; 5:20).
